Solheim Cup Betting Odds

While the Ryder Cup may be the most iconic team event in golf, the Solheim Cup is similarly popular among fans and bettors. This is essentially the female version of the Ryder Cup, featuring the best women golfers from Europe and the United States.

Named after the competition’s chief innovator, Karsten Solheim (who manufactures Norwegian-American golf clubs), the tournament was inaugurated in 1990 and alternated years with the Ryder Cup until 2021.

It now takes place on even-numbered years, with the next edition slated for 2026. Discover the best Solheim Cup betting odds and markets ahead of this major golf tournament at talkSPORT BET Sportsbook.

The 2026 Solheim Cup is scheduled for September 7th to 13th. It will be held at Bernardus Golf in Cromvoirt, North Brabant, in the Netherlands. Anna Nordqvist will lead Team Europe, while Angela Stanford will captain Team USA in 2026.

The Solheim Cup is a three-day tournament between Europe and the USA, with 12 players on each team. Every match is worth one point, and the team with the most points at the end of day three will win the cup. Here’s the current schedule and format:

• Day 1: Four foursomes, playing alternate shot, in the morning, and four foursomes, playing better ball, in the afternoon.
• Day 2: Four foursomes in the morning and four four-balls in the afternoon.
• Day 3: 12 singles matches, consisting of all 12 players from each team.

Twenty-eight points are available in the Solheim Cup, so the first team to 14.5 points will win it.

So, how can you bet on the Solheim Cup? Here are some popular markets for all golf fans ahead of and during this fascinating team tournament:

Outright Markets

The most popular outright market for the Solheim Cup requires you to pick the winning team. As there are only two competing sides, however, the odds for this market don’t typically offer exceptional rates of return.

Instead, you can unlock much bigger prices by engaging in correct score betting or by predicting the winning margin at the end of the Solheim Cup.

You can inform this type of bet by researching the form of the competing players and past Solheim Cup performances. However, this also increases your exposure to risk.

Individual Player Markets

There’s a much more diverse selection of individual player markets when wagering on the Solheim Cup. For example, you can pick the player you think will score the most points for their team over the three days of competition.

Your best bet here is to select the highest-ranked players likely to perform well, such as the USA’s Nelly Korda and Angel Yin, alongside Europe’s Maja Stark and Celine Boutier.

You can also bet on the nationality of the top-scoring player, whether they’re American, European or British. There’s also an intriguing ‘rookie’ market, where you can bet which competing debutants will perform the best. These markets can unlock significant value for informed punters.

Four Ball Betting

On day two of the Solheim Cup, eight players from each team will participate in four ‘four-ball’ matches. In this match play format, players compete with their own ball, so there are four on the course at any given time. The winner is the team with the lowest aggregate score over a predetermined number of holes.

Four-ball match play typically sees the best players compete. You can also analyse each player’s form and performance statistics, including their head-to-head record against specific players. Four-ball matches also tend to occur on day two, so you can factor in performance levels during the first day.

The Solheim Cup is a relatively new golf tournament introduced in 1990. The United States won the first trophy at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in Orlando, Florida, and went on to win four of the first five events.

There have been 19 tournaments, and the United States have won 11 of them. There has only been one tie in Solheim Cup history, which came in the dramatic 2023 tournament in Malaga, Spain. Europe retained the Solheim Cup as they won it in 2021.

The biggest winning margin in Solheim Cup history came in 2013 at Colorado Golf Club in Parker, when Europe romped to an incredible 18-10 victory.
